The remoteness ofthi5 community puts it almosr beyond the reach of the World Food Programme and the World Health Organisation. leaving It firmly in the grip of poverty and underdevelopment. its projects aim to bring assistance in a holistic way that doesn'tfundamentallythange the Maasai culture. Whilslthe people o*Olorte are predominantly Maa5ai. other tribes are also integrated member5 of the community and RedTribe makes no distinction between them in the projects and services it deliver5. The RedTribete3m in Olorte consists of a number of operations managers {most Maasai and one non-Kenyanl and several local support staff. Other local cornmunity members are employed from time to time according to projert or operational needs. We, the RedTribe trustees. take 3 continued role to receive donations and sales income in the UK and disperse them to Kenya to fund the projects and operations. In addttion. the twstee5 seek to provide some basic governance around the projects to ensure that the fund5 deliver the benefits to the Maasai community, in line with the wishes of the donors.

RedTrlbe Activities Icont.) What we achleved The following progress is reported for the work that Re(rtribe did in 2021 among the Maasai communities in the Loita Hills, spanning the continuation of e¥isting long running projects. new projects and operations. RESPONSE TO COVID 19 The Covid-19 Pandemic continued to affect the Maasai communities well into 2021 and RedTribe decided to help the most Wulnerable Familie5~ by helping them plant their gardens with maize & beans. A total of 170 acres were ploughed and seeded with funding that RedTribe raised. A total of 1,700 people in the commijnity benefitted from this Project when the harvest came in. The community had one of their best harvests in years! MAASAI ACADEMY The Maasai Academy attendance have grown in 2021 and 250 children attended the school. With this expansion we decided to build 2 new Nursery Classes that will be used for PPI Ilower nursery) and PP2 lupper Ntjrseryl. RedTribe also employed 2 new Teachers to help with the growing number of student5. We continued to build the Girls Dormitories after the local government stopped all building Projects during the Lockdowns. RedTribe funded 3 Teachers in 2021 through Teachers Training College. REDTR18E BEADWORK The Beadwork Project employed 21 women before the pandemic forced us to close the project. It was impossible to continue the production of Beadwork due to social distancing rules and because the shop5 we were supplying were shut. RedTribe continued to employ and pay the Beadwork Manager in Olorte a salary. During the closure of the Projett. new designs were researched, and products were sold on the RedTribe Etsy Shop lonlinel. A new Beadwork Collection was designed in 2021. Fle(ITribe also started writing a Craft Book that will be published in 2022 or 2023. We hope that this will further help us to market the Beadwork to more people and benefit more women in the Community. CLINIC AND HEALTHCARE The Clinic continued to operate throughout the pandemic to support the local community- Our Vaccination programme continued as nomial in 2021. The Clinic has grown in clientele because of a new Clinical OfFicer RedTribe employed. As a result of the growing number of patients, RedTribe expanded a Clinic Facility. We have built a new Consultancy Room. Treatment Room. Laboratory arbd Reception. The Clinic also employed a new Receptionist in 2021. The Clinic is making a big impact in the Maasai Community and the growin8 number of patients suggest that the Government facilities are struggling and RedTfibe had to step up its service. WATER PROJECTS RedTribe TrusteesAnnual Rew)rt and Ao)yJnls 2U21 Page4of 11
RedTrlbe RedTribe have not installed any new Water Projerts in 2021 but have surveys several village5 WTth the hope to install taps in villages. Maintenance was carried out on all the Water Project in 2021 and around 3CK)O people are benefitting from the 14 different water tap5 RedTribe installed in the different villages. Our Clinic data shows that Waierbome disease numbers are falling in those villages. REDTRIBE FARMING PROJEcrs The RedTribe Farm continues to grow food for the Maasai Academy and RedTribe Projects. The farm currently provides vegetables for around 14,2CM) meals a month as the number of children and staff have grown at the school. The farm also trains a few young farmer5 and serves as a demonstration plot for the community on howto grow cash crops. REDTRIBE COMPOUND AND STAFF RedTribe now employs 36 Staff members in its different Projects. All the staff now receive Hospital and Social Insurance. This loyal team of stsff works hard as the Projects are growing and making an impact in the Community. LOOKING FORWARDS The rÈpercus5ions of the Pandemic and lockdowns have had negative effect across rural communities. High unemployment and teenage pregnancies were highlighted and RedTribe is working on strategies to help the community. RedTribe's vision for the fLrture is still to invest in training and local business initiatives that will help the Maasai communities to be less reliant on food aid and donations. New strategies are being developed to help the projects to grow towards self-su5tainability. We are planning more water projects to help communities that don't have access to clean water. We are developing the Maasai Academy to continue to deliver quality education. The Beadwork project is planning to develop their produrts and reach new markets. We a investing in the Clinic program to bring new medical services to the Community. RedTribe is now a key partner with the Maasai communities of Olorte to ensure a brighter future for the next generations. Financial review We began this year with funds of £110.619 from previous donations. This year we received a total of E74,088- £64.336 as donations from individuals, churches and other charitable trusts. £9,752 came from the sale of beadwork which M31Thed lower than in previous year5 because of limited opportunities during the pandemic and reduced levels of production resulting in lower stock available for sale. We distributed £73.023 to fund our operations in Kenya. and we spent £7.443 in the UK on beadwork sales costs, beadwork materia15, marketing and fiJndraisin& bank charges Irelating to the transfer of funds to Kenyal, and accounting examiner fees relating to the preparation of the Annual Report. £2,045 of the funding spent in the UK was for equipment and improvements to the office in Kenya and associated costs. We therefore end the year with funds of £104,241 RedTrth Tru51eesAnnual Reportand Accounts 2021 PageSof11
